        E.g.: Was liebst du mehr, Mayonnaise oder mich?

        What do You like better, Mayonnaise or me?

        The point is, it’s highly improper to not love a person in favor of a thing. Instead You can lighten it up a bit by just asking for what they like better.

        The initial question is only askable among very close friends (Irony/Saracasm), usually not even for couples and definitely not for love interests or lose contacts.
